I’m so sorry for your loss. If you have pictures and videos together, keep them safe. Occasionally read your chats if he was active online. Talk about him at every chance you get. And, most importantly, take all the time you need to grieve
. It is well.

What is this national clown saying?Wendell Simlin has ridiculed himself to the point that his statements these days are only good for comic relief.I wonder how Tinubu's team recruited charlatan as an image maker,this one will only end up demarketing Tinubu the more.

Wendell Simlin wtf is that? 🤣 🤣 🤣

You see how that woman japa?? Nigerian leaders will do exactly the same when we begin to stand up! Kudos to Sowore, his lawyers, and the GenZs.

madridguy:


In this life you must learn how to respect yourself, and how do you respect? Its by conducting yourself in a proper manner that won't bring see finish come jam you.

If the guy respect himself, followed laid down protocol he won't be in a situation like this.

Until a military man land you a serious mind-resetting slap for "tresing." Because How's this punishment in line with NYSC's guidelines? Aren't there measures to deal with bad behaviours?

This is beyond disgusting. But what's more disgusting is that many Nigerians will see this and defend the shameless power drunk woman. Disgusting behaviours like this is why cultism is so prevalent because everyone is after power.

The good thing is that both the original indigenes of Lagos and those who abandoned their villages in Iragbiji Osun, Ekiti, Kogi, and Anambra for Lagos will all endure the stench together. 😁 No one will be spared. You can blame, deny, or argue all you want, but it won’t stop the smell. 😁 Just a few days ago, these people were bragging about IGR. But what generates the so-called IGR if not the same consumer population they love to hate?

The c l o w n i s h CV rewriter who always wanted you to believe that the main reason for your unemployment was your poor CV.

He has since relocated to the UK, even before his beloved Buhari completed his tenure. If you let these people gaslight you 😂

Tajbol4splend:
Removal of subsidy will hurt but it's the only way we can grow our infrastructural development which is key to economic growth. Most of you are not looking at the bigger picture here, the result of Tinubu's policies is not a thing of now, in fact it's not a thing of his tenure, but one thing is sure, we will get there

How much infrastructure has Tinubu provided or improved compared to the subsidy era? Better snap out of your misplaced optimism.

This is very embarrassing.

emmancipated:
Sometimes the way we choose to go about things baffle me. I don't know if the Lagos smells or not, but I've seen several people complain about it. The response is always, "they are trying to destroy the image of Lagos", "they are haters", "they are wailers etc", but no talk of, is this thing true? If it is true, how can we go about the resolution. It is always counter arguments, while the supposed actual issue takes a backseat. If Lagos is smelling, and the constituted authority decides to tackle it, I don't think anyone who is normal would still be coming up with the narrative that Lagos is smelly.


If you render a service to the public and you have some of your customers giving you a certain , I don't think the best approach is going back and forth on the matter. Just fix it if the problem exists, and we would move on from there.

Don’t mind the c l o w n. I was in transit all the way from Berger to Ijanikin a few days ago. If you’ve been through this route, chances are you’ll through nearly all the "Iyanas" in Lagos, and I can guarantee you that almost the entire stretch from Iyana Ipaja to Iyana Iba, even Ojo stinks. You’ll notice this when you use public transportation.

It’s easy for some c l o w ns in government to lock themselves up in air-conditioned convoys and claim that legitimate observers are lying. Another thing about smell is that when you live in an environment that stinks, after a while, the stench becomes normal. This is the plight of many Lagosians.

A corper who just moved to Lagos for her service from an environment with clear, fresh air will face a difficult time, trying to adjust. But no, let's discard reality because we don't want to insult Lagos (whatever that means). The c l o w n s they're protecting do not even have their kids in this Lagos, and when they do, they definitely know the finest estate to keep them.

The other set of c l o w n s are the people who claim that citizens of other countries do not insult their nations the way Nigerians do. Very funny. People who call Trump a r a p i s t and immigrants "illegal aliens" - are those the ones who will be scared to call out a smelly city in the U.S?

karlriz:


I don't have a problem, you're the one with the problem for failing to realise demarketing Lagos or speaking ill of it on Global Social Media Spaces is very dangerous to it's potentials. Most cities in the world have some part of it that smells, their citizens don't come on social media gloating and mocking it . They will rather engage the government in a civil manner calling its attention to fix it instead of turning it into Gloating Party on Global social media spaces.

Says a man from Alimosho Local Government Area who can’t read French, let alone know what the French people are saying about on X or TikTok.

Another weak attempt to defend failure. Why do you, Nigerians, hate the truth so much? Why is everything demarketing to you? People are saying worse things about the U.S. government on their platforms, same as any other country, including your favourite japa countries in the world. So, why must everyone be silent because the chief c l o w n from your tribe rigged his way into power?

OlawaleBammie:
what is stopping you from taking a loan and jakpa?

I love practicals, bro. Give me the #30m loan.

You're probably still in the village, feeding for free and living in the house your parents inherited from their grandparents, because...!

See your mouth like, "She should spend what she can afford on rent." Who told you that agents and landlords care about what you can afford? Do you think rent is like food, where you insult people for drinking ordinary Coke and blame them for not going for unsanitized Zobo in pet bottles picked up from the gutters?

Someone asked what a 100k earner should spend on rent, but your dishonest self couldn’t answer because you know that no answer will ever make sense.

You’re a dishonest, self-serving crook! Because why would you even dwell so much on 100k when the government, which you're trying too hard to defend, is still paying 33k? Do you see how dishonest you are? So let me ask you, how much should a 33k earning corper spend on rent in Lagos? Apart from Makoko, where else can a 33k earning corper afford without the of family, friends, or strangers?

How many people traveled with N30 million in cash out of pocket? Many times, they take loans that they end up repaying in a few years, while some sell properties. Take a N30 million loan and start a business in Nigeria or spend it on education, I promise you, you may never be able to repay it even if they give you 20 years. If people could pay off their loans after just a few years in the UK, I guarantee you that it’s still a better deal.

McLizbae:
You sha want me to talk...

Well, I look at that girl as though she's mine but you seem to see her as a tool or accessory that entertaining your wishes.

Every one hails the clown and enjoy the entertainment but no one wish to the clown in the clownish act.

That girl have little or no understanding of what she is doing right there, and she needs thorough guidance. I mean, she's just a fresh University leaver: inexperienced, volatile, exuberant, and rash (as most of us has also been).

If her outburst is genuinely about the current bad government, then she is doing it the wrong way, and I mean for a person of her current status. Public rants against govt is for lowlifes on the streets, but for the learned (not just educated) they way forward is to work within groups that strategize and re-strategize plans that will actually change a bad government.

Lets see if she will later update us, and show that any of the people ing and hailing her now (including you), have invited her to their homes, offices, or places of investment, and then put up the cameras again to her in doing what she was doing (just talking against the government).

Did you watch a different video? How is a girl lamenting and crying over her frustration at the cost of living and then calling the president a terrible person a problem to anyone apart from the same government that has failed in all ramifications? Relax your mind. Those who said worse things about a sitting government in the past are all currently in Aso Rock right now, dining and wining at the expense of the populace.
Reno and Daniel Bwala said worse things about the government. The issue is that you think Tinubu represents all there is about the government and that he’ll be there forever. Lol.

Away from the government, who told you she wants to work for the government or anyone, or even live in Nigeria in the first place? How many doors can you possibly close against someone whose experience resonates with millions of people?

So you think a private sector employer who spends over half of its revenue on inflation-induced expenses will not employ her because...?? Hehe..

All I see is the same approach of silencing people who dare to speak about their experiences. If you listen to her, you’ll see an intelligent girl who chooses her words carefully anyway. I can’t cry that much and not lay heavy curses on Tinubu. I really applaud her for using very mild and sweet words like “terrible.” Not that anything would have happened if she had cursed Mr. President anyway. People who did way more than that are in Canada and the US today, living their lives. I mean, check out the likes of Rinu and tell me whether she’s not already living the life of her dreams.

techaboki:


She has every reason to vent her frustration, which is fine! But taking Uber when you're on a tight budget is absolutely ridiculous. I don't know where she lives, but what I know for a fact is that she'll save 2-4k extra if she uses danfo rather than Uber.

What are you even saying, bros? Save what from where? Without parental and other side gigs, no corper can survive in Lagos on a 30k allowance. The entire annual pay cannot rent a shop (container) in Lagos.

This is the same Nigeria where many parents still assist their married children financially. And you think a corper somewhere in Lagos will manage what? Lol.. I don't think you pay bills at all.

Nowhere in that video did she say that she uses Uber to get to work. Maybe you should listen again.

smalls001:
You must be a clown to think that practicing nursing in the US is a major achievement. Trust me, there are millions of Nigerians here in Nigeria doing way way better. That is not a yard stick oga. Some of them still call us in Nigeria for financial favors.

Okay. Whatever makes you sleep better.

McLizbae:
Thank you.

Don’t thank me, oh. She’s speaking the truth and reality many of us can’t voice, and instead of coming out to defend her, we’re looking for holes in the NYSC rulebook. What nonsense rulebook? Does NYSC follow its own guidelines when it puts people’s children’s lives at risk, to the point where some get kidnapped and no one ever comes forward to threaten these kidnappers?

Someone is in pain and you're threatening her with the exact thing she's suffering from (lack). Those whose lives are not under threats, how's their lives any better? Most of the poorest of the poorest people you will ever come across are Tinubu ers. This is like threatening a suicidal person with death.

Nairaland isn’t a real place, anyway. Too much bad energy here. I’m on X, and everyone I come across is speaking out for her, including the very big influencers and celebrities who’ve got a lot to lose.

I will never be the one to attempt to silence these Gen Zs from TikTok. We need their courage now more than ever while the rest of us who loves "respect" more than destiny can bury our heads in shame and Rino Omokri's shameless threads.

McLizbae:
Oh poor ignorant young lady, you talk as if talking has ever changed anything. Apart from putting you in trouble what better will your talk do than those of elites such as Obi, Atiku etc, who have also been talking and nothing has happened?
I only pity your parents (if there are any), for the unnecessary trouble you may also put them in.

I can bet you're a Millennial or Gen X - very fearful and timid generations who love respect more than purposeful living.

If I were her parent, I would certainly be proud of her. May we not raise another generation of timid cowards who will willingly surrender their destinies to Tinubu’s and Wike’s children in exchange for crumbs.

The number of followers she may have garnered on TikTok since yesterday may do for her what a s s licking of political criminals will never do for many shameless Gen Ys and Millennial from now till eternity.

AKAyomide:
She doesn’t know what she is doing honestly! She has committed a crime against the rules and regulations that guide NYSC. Many of them just go to national service and they didn’t know that as a corper you don’t have any right to involve yourself in any political engagement in the country while serving. She is just like a Nigeria arm force whose Political Liberty (her fundamental rights are being checked out) is being controlled by the state. I feel for us

That so called "crime" will set her on a path of fulfilment. how ronus almost killed themselves over a lady's comment about the unforgivable stench and smell in Lagos? Well, the lady is in the US now, practising her nursing career.

Her enemies are still in "their" Lagos smoking the smell and stench day in day out. Politicians saw how people came forward to defend their failures, and that ultimately gave them more reasons to ignore the truth (smell) 😂.

When you know and speak the truth, you'll be set free, someday, somehow. Don't feel for her. Her courage has opened doors.

techaboki:
If I talk wetin de my mind ehn hmm.

Corp member de take Uber, on top 33k allawy?

PS; To the goats, cows and monkeys quoting me with derogatory words....

If you want to act rich, please do that in peace and not wail. Why do you have to take an Uber of 25k according to her with 33k salary?

You guys saying nonsense about my poverty mentality, why is she complaining of 6k for a crate of eggs?

Everything is not about wealth or poverty.

How can your expenses be more than your income?

I like her bravery for criticizing the government but financial literacy is necessary.

Complain about the rising cost of foodstuffs but don't tell us Uber is expensive because there's an alternative to that one.

You go de de form Porsche person go plan him life within his means Japa live you.

Fools

From "why are young Nigerians buying cars" during the SARS era to "why are we taking Uber"? Soon, you'll ask young Nigerians why they are breathing.

Did she tell you she survives on 30k? Obviously, most of them are still being sponsored by their parents. She's complaining because your government wants to kill her and, by extension, her parents, with bills?

Occasional Uber is only a luxury in a poverty-posssesed country like Nigeria. Many of your mates abroad go for holidays in other countries without emptying their savings. Meanwhile, young Nigerians can't relocate to "ordinary" Egypt without selling everybody's land and properties in their lineage.

If you consider Uber an impossible luxury for a 20-22 year old girl, how then do you want to make it in life? That one year of senseless service to a corrupt country can earn her 2 holiday trips if she were in a sane country doing legitimate jobs, but no, let's cry over Uber.

The young woman should "live within her means"? Na 30k be means?

Villa12:
it is written in the holy quoran to love your mother 4 times before father comes. It has nothing to do with the media and society. Is animal Kingdom also influenced by the media? Only when you it the role mothers play in the lives of their kids then you will understand

I don’t underestimate the role of mothers. Why are you making this an issue of fathers versus mothers? Which rule says that you must love one more than the other? The Holy Quran? Sorry, not everyone lives by what Allah says.

Loving your mother more than your father can only mean that your father didn’t do his job well enough or that you’ve been brainwashed.

Villa12:
in any situation, children love their mother more and it's natural even in the animal kingdom

That's what the media and people of the world tell you. There is nothing natural about that. I do not love my mother more than I love my father. I don't do for my mother what I have not done or will not do for my father.

You didn’t identify the real issue. The main problem is children trying to fight for their mothers. If your mother married a useless man and they separated, whether she left him or he abandoned her, and he still did his best for you in his own capacity, then you shouldn’t be taking your mother’s role in your father’s life. Allow your mom to fight her own battles. Relate to your father and pay your dues, show respect, as long as he did his best as a father. His role as a husband is not your business.

While it’s painful that many are unable to learn much from a father who failed as a husband, it’s still a battle beyond their jurisdiction. We must realise that the separation of parents already gives one party, usually the mothers, an edge over the other, and children must not be oblivious to this fact.

We don't care. Fix insecurity and stop the killing of Christians in Nigeria. Gathering undecerning bishops for photo ops shortly have the US Congress called you out means nothing.

Tightpussy2024:

Will you maintain this energy when a single mom comes to complain that the father doesn't contribute? Or you will say "why did you open your legs?"

You people have forgiveness for deadbeats but for single mum condemn them a fate of perpetual suffering, scorn and singlehood.

The way you can't force a man to take care of a child he wasn't ready for,or force a man to raise another man kids(step dad) ,should also be the way you shouldn't force kids to take care of their fathers that abandoned them

You’ve mentioned two different scenarios here, and it’s important to clarify them. First, the idea that "you can’t force a man to take care of a child he wasn’t ready for" doesn’t hold up. Whoever has sex without protection is, by default, accepting the possibility of a child. Readiness isn’t the issue; it’s a responsibility. You don’t need to force anyone when such individuals fail in their responsibility, you hold them able legally.

Second, no you cannot force someone to take care of another person’s child, like a stepfather or stepmother. If they choose to do so, then you should thank them for their kindness and sacrifice.

As for Asake and his father, it’s ultimately up to Asake to decide what he wants to do. The truth is, no one can force him to act against his own moral will. Even if his father wasn’t a deadbeat, no court of law would prosecute him for abandoning his father.

All I did was argue against the idea of helping parents (or others) only when they’ve acted rightly or ed us when we needed them. Generosity doesn’t really depend on familial ties. In fact, I believe that someone who struggles to help strangers or humanity in general will rarely be there for their parents,even if those parents sacrificed everything to get them through school.

The only antidote for the political poison called APC.

El Rufai should remain in SDP and decamp at the 11th hour. PO should ensure close ties with Abure and ensure that nobody of value emerges from Labour Party.

Beyond ing PDP, you must be two steps ahead of the BAT. Put your moles in APC; create artificial problems in the party to keep the babariga thief busy for a while.

My brother, if you ask me, na who I go ask?

The idea that his father might deserve whatever treatment he’s receiving today especially if he was an absent father doesn’t make sense. The majority of the people benefiting from Asake’s wealth today didn’t contribute to his success either.

The people who contributed to his success are his fans, who go all out to stream his songs and attend his shows. I’m not sure he’s helped any of these people either; instead, celebrities are often known for spending lavishly on the Sophia Lambos of this world.

Sometimes, you have to look beyond people’s failures and weaknesses. Sometimes, you repay the wickedness of the wicked with good deeds in the hope that they might repent.

If we all decide to help only those who contributed to our success, then even Asake might not be where he is to today.

Jandor?

Funke Akindele and the PDP platform are the main reasons he pulled over 60k votes. Without those two, Jandor won't see 1000 votes in Lagos.
